Exercise Guidlines
Good health is an exercise in common sense
The Surgeon General released a new study in 2001, The Surgeon General’s Call
To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity. It indicates that 61%
of American adults are either overweight or obese. The story states that overweight
increases the risk of health problems, such as heart disease, certain type of cancer,
type 2 diabetes, etc. It further points out that overweight needs to be regarded pri-
marily as a Health rather than as an Appearance issue.
The Surgeon General’s Healthy weight advice for consumers is:
1. Aim for a healthy weight: Find your Body Mass Index (BMI) on the chart below.
2. Be active: Keep physically active to balance the calories you consume.
3. Eat well: Select sensible portion sizes.
Heart rate is an important key to your exercise.
The Surgeon General also released a report on physical activity and health. This
report definitively stated that exercise and fitness are beneficial for a person’s
health and redefined that exercise is a key component of disease prevention and
healthier living.
